Greeley Tribune

RESIDENTS of a Colorado nursing home gathered outside last Thursday to protest ongoing lockdown of their facility. The Greeley Tribune reports:

“Enough is enough. Set us free,” Fairacres Manor resident Josie Sanchez said through a microphone Thursday afternoon while parked in her wheelchair on 16th Street across from North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley.

Sanchez, 76 years old, was one of organizers of the protest. She was joined by approximately 19 of her fellow Fairacres residents as they sat in their wheelchairs on the sidewalk in front of the medical-center parking garage for two hours while the 16th Street traffic passed by with some drivers honking their horns.

The residents held signs and some waved to the motorists. One of the signs read: “We want families back.” The theme of the signs was the same and they were all directed at state officials: let us hug our families.

One woman held a sign saying, “I’d rather die of Covid than loneliness.”

What governments have done to the elderly in the last six months is a crime against humanity. Removing the restrictions is not enough. Criminal trials and long prison sentences are in order.
